The City Council may remember the support for a tipping fee of an additional $1.00 to reimburse the County of SLO for the AB 939 planning process. Projected revenues from reduced tonnage has resulted in substantially lower amounts of money available to repay the County in a timely manner. After much discussion, the Solid Waste Task Force is recommending an additional $2.00 to be implemented sometime in July or August. Further, it is my understanding that SIA Garbage may be requesting additional monies for unexpected costs. It is unclear to me at this time if the rate increases we approved last year will cover these additional fees and costs. I'll be happy to answer any questions.

Direction should be established on the scope of the Program to be sported by the proposed increase. BAC MOM: At the September 19, 1990 meeting of the Area Council, during consideration of the Work Program and Budget for the Countywide Integrated Waste Management Program, the delegates recognized the need to increase the tipping fee created to fund the AB 939 planning process. Due to the establishment of the initial tipping fee only three months prior in July 1990, the Area co ncil.,.mPmbe=s indicated' a. desire t6 wait until July of . 1991 before`' imjxising an increase.i Discussion centered on the need to reimh**� the County of San Iuis Obispo in a more timely fashion than would occur given the $1.00 per ton rate, as well as provide monies to allow for .program development and implementation, and fund the ongoing costs associated with the demands of AB 939 and other solid and hazardcus waste legislation. DI.SCEISSICdd; The tipping fee adopted last year (July 1990) was concieved to support the costs associated with the development of the required Source Ranh y-t i On and Recycling Elements qtly being developed persuar t to AB 939. The adopted fee was intended to reimburse the county of San Ivis Obispo for the monies that were provided from the County general fund in support of this program. The original estimate of the rate at which the existing tipping fee would repay the budget appropriation in support of the program has provenoverly optimistic. The Area Council has indicated a desire to see the existing fee revised in July of this year to bring revenues in line with the demands of anticipated expenses. Proposals to increase the fee to include additional programs, or build a fund to support eventual implementation, were determined to be premature at the time the original fee was considered. However, now that the program has had the opportunity to get established and future needs are more clearly 'defined, the accrual of additional monies in support of these expenses may be prudent. h The swrF and the Area Council have indicated support for reevaluating the tipping fee for an increase in July of 1991 based upon several factors including; * The rate of reimbursement to the County general fund for plan preparation. * The need for additional support for existing or proposed programs. * The desire to provide for an adequate pool of funds to support implementation of the activities that will be required as a result of the adoption and approval of the SMEs, BHW Element, Countywide Integrated Waste Management Plan, and the Siting Element. As the month of July is rapidly approaching, it is time to initiate a review of the furling needs that can reasonably be anticipated as necessary to support the desired program levels. The currently strained financial condition of local and state budgets precludes the ability to absorb any additional new expenditures from general furl monies, and the establishment of a source of funds to support this program independent of existing county and municipal budgets is necessary.., Staff..would,reo®nend ttiat� the, me�liess of,__the;SWI'F:discuss„the 4 "aid provide po _fu�ciing l RIrP t ill direction to:; the-;.Technical-:Advisory C�'ttee for, consideration-in the preparation_ proposal for :_an _appropriate tipping fee increase for adopEion'y.this year'; The implementation of the tipping fee is under the purview of the Board of Supervisors and the recamendations of the SWIAC and SWrF will be forwarded to the Board for consideration in their deliberations on this issue. t TABLE B - 1990-91 REVENUES RECEIVED TO DATE- REVENUES RECEIVED COLD CHICAGO PASO.

Additionally, the Board approved "upfronting" the $741,900 to pay for the preparation of the plan. The county was originally to be reimbursed through a $1 tipping fee surcharge. However, revenue estimates were revised based on actual tonnages and it was anticipated that the county would collect approximately $175,000 for fiscal year 1990-91 and approximately $242,000 for subsequent years. The County has"only received $116,127 in reimbursement monies to date., Based upon recommendations from the Solid Waste Task Force and the Area Coordinating Council, the Administrative Office is.ready to move forward with a recommendation to increase the tipping fee to more readily reimburse the county for it's "upfront" monies by the end of fiscal year 1991-92- Two tables are attached for your information. Table A highlights the 1991-92 projected revenues using various tipping fee scenarios. Table B illustrates 1990-91 revenues received to date. In order for the county to be fully reimbursed for the "upfront" costs by the end of fiscal year 1991-92, a total of $625,773 must be collected. To collect that amount, the tipping fee must lie increased $1.75 (see Table A) for a total tipping fee of $2.75: Any monies remaining in the trust fund after the county has been fully reimbursed shall be utilized as mutually agreed upon by the agencies involved in the MOU. County staff is currently preparing an item to be brought before the Board in May. Based on previous recommendations from the Task Force and the Area Council, this item is brought before the Task Force for informational purposes. Sincerely, Robert E.
